Two for the Road: 11/12/09

This posting is not entirely authentic. I came to work with a Fendi brown logo tote but realized that this Anya bag that I carry in my shop coordinated with my outfit so well that I decided to show it instead. The boots are a gift from the Manolo Blahnik PR office and are super old...like from the late 90s (though upon further reflection it might have been the early 2000s). They were definitely one of my first gifts and the dead giveaway is the pointed toe box. Lately I have been finding these really pointy toed shoes and boots and they haven't been looking so dated. I'm thinking they'll be back in fashion next fall/winter...My dress was purchased so long ago on sale somewhere and the jacket is either from Barneys New York in NYC or from Susan in San Francisco (one of my favorite shops in the world!). All I know is that I purchased many Veronique items including a skirt I still own and covet from Susan but I think the jacket might have been an additional purchase from Barneys or perhaps even somewhere else?

What is Trocadero?

Trocadero is a lifestyle and accessories concept boutique in Omaha, Nebraska. It opened its doors on October 13, 2007 and is the creation of Alice Kim, who worked at In Style magazine for over a decade, most recently as their Accessories Director overseeing editorial coverage of shoes, handbags, jewelry and everything non-apparel. After 15+ years of working in NYC in fashion, Alice moved to Omaha to slow things down a bit and opened up a store filled with all her favorite things. Trocadero celebrates all those wonderful items that you read about...but also know that they are tried-and-true items that have gone through all the tests to make them "worthy" of being in Trocadero! We stand by all our products! They are really the best of the best!!
